friday

ah the view to my room. haven't even been in it yet.for some funny reason i won't climb the ladder to the second floor 36 weeks pregnant.

wednesday

so my bedroom should have all the framing done today and the sheeting tomorrow. woo hoo!

but i seem to have lost my front yard from the giant dirt pile from the excavating. oh well, next summers project.

monday

potential counter and flooring in kitchen & assembly hall=)

so all the men in my life are working like little beavers this week. my husband, dad and in laws have all taken the week off to frame in the addition. so i'm hoping to daily add pics of the progress this week. the goal is to have the roof on on sat. as long as the weather holds we should be alright. please God.

finally

the first pic is our old kitchen, now stripped bare and the second one is the pump truck the day we poured the basement walls. next week i should have pics of the addition being framed! we have our phone and Internet back! woo hoo. talk about feeling a bit like you lost your toe or something. annoying but not enough to stop the wold from functioning. however they still can't figure out our e-mail. so hopefully tomorrow. otherwise, telus will be getting a nasty phone call. ugh.

this time next week

so we now have the basement walls poured, and it went relatively uneventfully. one corner did crack and it was a quick jump into the hole to stop the concrete from pouring out. but tonight the forms come off and soon the framing will begin. so hopefully this time next week i should have the kitchen walls and maybe even my bedroom framed. now it should get exciting. if only i weren't so very tired and hugely pregnant. i need a nap. again.

eventually

so we're in week 3 of no Internet, i'm on my dad's computer posting right now. so here's the update. we're in my parents basement and it's going just fine. the girls are starting to adjust. alarielle had a rough go if it the past 2 weeks, but we're settling in. FINALLY got the van fixed and i am back driving my mom bus. as nice as it was to drive a Pontiac g6 for a week, i really do love my van. mark's house is clean, empty and returned to him. woo hoo! moving while pregnant?.....i do not recommend it. but YOU ROCK to all who helped move and clean. i seriously couldn't have done it without you! so THANK YOU!!!! the house in stony has the excavating done and we're in the process of framing the basement walls so that they can be poured monday afternoon. so this time next week, i could have a basement. very exciting. my dad is building my kitchen cabinets for us, woo hoo, and has a line on getting all the supplies wholesale. that would just rock! i'm pretty much done at work. i have about 6 shifts left over the next 3 weeks. so it does feel good to wake up with out a mission right now, but give me 2 weeks i'll be going nuts. so life is gaining some sort of normalcy to it and it feels good. so now i just get to gestate for another 6 weeks and all chaos should break loose again!
